If his retirement accounts are all mutual funds, like most accounts, the trades only process once per day. So even if he did it last night, it probably didn't trade until the close today.

His wife can probably put stuff back in now, miss whatever tomorrow's performance ends up being, and be fine. I'll go ahead and predict that tomorrow Trump appoints Sarah Palin as defense secretary and his favorite sock as secretary of state, so they could end up ahead of the game.

Feet stomping sore losers are ruining it for people who legitimately want to move to there, Canada, Australia etc.

Same goes for Trump supporters if Hilldawg took it.

Nah I think the opposite of people fleeing to Canada would have been Trump supporters building bunkers in the desert in the Southwest and declaring it sovereign territory or something bombing federal facilities because the government is clearly illegitimate and only they can restore "freedom". No taxes though, can't beat that!

Considering that anti-Trump supporters are currently rioting in the streets of your American cities, I don't think you have to fear Trump's supporters, at least for the here and now.

A protest is not the same as a riot.

Like I'm not even mad at trump voters anymore at this point, I just hope that all of Trump and Pence and Congress' dumbass ideas get implemented quickly and to their fullest, dumbest extent and y'all can fully experience the absolute garbage heap you have willingly thrown yourselves into.

My co-worker is fleeing to Canada because of Trump.

His partner is Canadian and he's been trying to convince him to move for awhile. But yeah, Trump was the breaking point.

Of course he's also a network engineer who used to work for NASA. He has valuable job skills that a MILLENNIAL 10 credits shy of their liberal arts degree and a job brewing coffee at Starbucks doesn't have. And he's essentially a war bride, so it's easier to get one of those 300k yearly spots.

The BWM part? He's moving to Vancouver.

To be fair, Vancouver is the only part of Canada where it doesn't get insanely cold in the winter. If you're coming from a costal or southern US city the weather would be a major shock if you moved to Toronto or Montreal.

Hahaha. You've awkwardly inserted your pro-Trump sentiments into like 4 posts in the last two pages. It's fine man. Good for you. Nobody is taking the bait.

I have 2 master degrees and haven't been able to find a job for the past 12 months. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. (self.personalfinance)

I have a masters in math and one in finance, both from state schools. Finished both with 4.0s. I did my undergrad at a "public ivy," but only got a 2.75 there. I was happy with my scholastic performance turnaround and only applied for competitive jobs at the beginning of my job search. As time has passed, I've been applying to anything and everything. I've been living off of a small inheritance, but that money is almost gone. I've recently applied to be a teller at a bank and at a local Target - no interview for either.

I have two decent internships under my belt which I did during my last degree program. I'm 31 and apart from those, I have no relevant work experience. What do I need to do differently?

EDIT: I don't know anyone who works in any field that I have an interest in.

Moneyball posted:

How can someone not find a decent job with masters degrees in math and finance? Even without networking.

That cringe interview is the best.

I had my own cringe interview at the age of 18. I applied to bus tables at a restaurant, and when I turned in the application a manager came and met me.

He said "Hey before I read this or do anything, I always ask applicants one thing: why should I hire you?"

I stammered out something like "uhm, well because I really need this job"

That was not the right answer. He didn't call me back.

Space Gopher posted:

Unless "liquidated" in this context is literal, and now the entire balance of the accounts (minus penalties and withholding) is sitting in a checking account. In which case the guy responded to a Trump win in the most appropriate way possible: by making an irreversible move with disastrous financial consequences for no good reason.

You know...I wasn't sure myself tbh. I called her today to see how she was doing, and asked her for more info.

Apparently he did actually liquidate and sent to a bank acct.

Sigh.

quote:

Lil Wayne owes $1 million for private jet flights.

Tyga already owes the taxman $100,000 in unpaid taxes. The thing that really got the attention of the IRS was that Tyga imported sand from Egypt to use in his clothing store.

Busta Rhymes owes $800,000 in back taxes.

Sean Kingston bought a jet ski (which he crashed and almost died), two luxury cars that cost a combined $1 million and diamonds that he hardly ever wore. The jeweler that sold him the diamonds wasn't too happy that the seven checks that Kingston wrote them all bounced. Kingston still owes $200,000 for the jewels, and he might not have that much left now that his cars have been repossessed.

So many rappers not paying their taxes. Lil Kim, Method Man, Ja Rule, Xzibit, owed a million dollars or more.

Scarface did 10 months in jail for owing $120,000 in child support.

Jermain Dupri isn't in trouble yet but he got a $5 million loan to save his label by putting his house, record label and recording studio as collateral.

MC Hammer had $30 million in assets repossessed.

Fat Joe did 4 months in jail for his $700,00 bill to the IRS. He's not so fat (or relevant) anymore.

Nas owed the IRS $6 million in back taxes even before he got divorced.
A judge ruled that Nas had to pay $300,000 to Kelis (his ex-wife, singer of Milkshake) for alimony. Since he was already $6 million in the hole, he couldn't afford to do it.

Remember that one song that just kept saying "Money in the bank, I got money in the bank"? That classic tune was made by Swizz Beatz. Apparently, the song was a bit of a stretch as Beatz went bankrupt due to, well, not having money in the bank. He owed $2.5 million to the IRS.

Lil Flip was arrested just a couple of years after his one big hit for credit card fraud.

Lauryn Hill owed $2.5 million to the IRS and was sentenced to 3 months in prison.

Damon Dash in "Big Pimpin" poured bottles of Cristal over models on his private yacht. Damon Dash in real life? MC Hammer-ish. The former Roc mogul who once bragged about his butler and private chef may soon be forced to declare bankruptcy. Ready? Here we go: Dash's lawyer dropped him for failing to pay bills, his SUV was seized after he failed to pay the $700 monthly bill, the bank foreclosed on two of his condos after he failed to pay his mortage, he owes $2 million in taxes to the state of New York, he's being sued for failing to pay rent on two Manhattan offices, and he's fighting off suits from a design company and security company whom both say Dash never paid them for their work. If there was ever a time to go crawling back to Jay, this is it.
